WINGS! Is there a link to pics of the different wings people have chosen to run?

I quite like the look of the ducktail wings/spoilers. More easily fabricated, I'm thinking of adding one to my car

Here are a few pics of Rich Boschert's ducktail wing/spoiler.

I do remember a magazine article about the Countach with the wing, the Lamborghini test driver said that the wing held back the top speed of the car.

As I recall it was something like 203 mph without the wing and 198 with the wing.

Lamborghini made some pretty radical, unsubstantiated claims when it came to top speeds of their cars back in the day.

The reality is the Euro Spec Countach 5000s topped out at 150 with the rear spoiler and 160 without. Click for 5000S Road test

The fastest Countach of all, the 1988 25th anniversary edition, which had a much revised, more aerodynamic body than the previous editions and NO rear spoiler did a verified 183 mph.

The very first production road car to hit 200 MPH wasn't until 1987 when Ferrari rolled out the F40.

NO COMMENT!

If you look closely, there are no additional holes drilled in the decklid. The car had an ugly delta wing on it before and the holes for the supports were already there. He simply repurposed them. I like it . I think that with a bit of shaping ,it would look really cool.

I would go with the Delta Wing. If you can't find one, go with the Marlin Wing.

Since these are largely for decoration and you intend to show the car, the combination of the Delta Wing and the Pantera rear deck make just the right combination to do tail gate parties with.

You can separate the Hibachi from the cold drinks. Just make sure you put screens over the stacks so people don't drop objects into them.

I live 20 minutes from Sears Point Raceway. I do plan on doing a track day or 2 at some point.

I like the rear wing air scoops on Rich's car.

I was planning on fabricating my own from aluminum.

Marlin you are a kindred spirit!

Definitely the ducktail! The Countach wing will merely add drag. Then again, if you can find some nubile young ladies who want to sunbathe on a delta wing like Marlin's, then it's a no-brainer, go with the delta wing. But if you want to go faster, go ducktail.

You know? I often think I see things looking down the road into those heat waves coming off of the pavement at dusk?

Does that count as a mirage?

Yeah right! I agree with PanteraDoug, pics are required.

So Marlin, I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU.

(I see another thread in our future: "Naked Chicks Laying On Delta Wings", or something...)

You've never heard of a double dog dare??? Where'd you grow up? There's even a triple dog dare:
